MJFF at the 2019 World Parkinson Congress, in Photos

Logo for the fifth World Parkinson's Congress in Kyoto, Japan.

The Michael J. Fox Foundation was proud to join thousands of members of the Parkinson’s community for the 5th World Parkinson Congress (WPC) in Kyoto, Japan. People with Parkinson’s, care partners, researchers, physicians and advocates from around the world gathered to learn about the latest research and innovations in Parkinson’s treatment and care.

MJFF staff and funded investigators were on hand at our conference booth and were featured in research panels and poster presentations. The Foundation was also a co-sponsor of the Clinical Research Village, where patients and families were invited to learn about the ins and outs of participating in clinical studies.

For more on all the #WPC2019 action, listen to the official WPC podcast, “When Life Gives You Parkinson’s,” hosted by MJFF Patient Council member Larry Gifford. And enjoy photo highlights of MJFF at the 2019 World Parkinson Congress.
